<<<So our color has importance in terms of biology. It "means" something about our genetics, and it changes out ability to stand sunlight, and to make vitamin D (to use just one example, of why the color of your skin is important.] brackets mine>>>

Sorry. Don't mean to be difficult, but I still don't get it.

People have different amounts of melanin and melanin does things. The same goes for whatever makes people run faster. The chemicals that make muscles that enable people to run faster (enabling them to avoid being eaten up by alligators) vary in people. Tall people (when dressed in suites make more money) have chemicals that make them grow taller are genetically different than say short people....etc.

And.....?
